The instant Sunday Times Top Ten and New York Times bestseller.
Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the
Year Award 2019. A Financial Times Essential Reads of 2019 pick. A
powerful argument for how to succeed in any field: develop broad
interests and skills while everyone around you is rushing to
specialize. 'I loved Range' - Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers
From the '10,000 hours rule' to the power of Tiger parenting, we
have been taught that success in any field requires early
specialization and many hours of deliberate practice. And, worse,
that if you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who
got a head start. This is completely wrong. In this landmark book,
David Epstein shows you that the way to succeed is by sampling
widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours,
experimenting relentlessly, juggling many interests - in other
words, by developing range. Studying the world's most successful
athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein
demonstrates why in most fields - especially those that are complex
and unpredictable - generalists, not specialists are primed to
excel. No matter what you do, where you are in life, whether you
are a teacher, student, scientist, business analyst, parent, job
hunter, retiree, you will see the world differently after you've
read Range. You'll understand better how we solve problems, how we
learn and how we succeed. You'll see why failing a test is the best
way to learn and why frequent quitters end up with the most
fulfilling careers. As experts silo themselves further while
computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly
focused humans, Range shows how people who think broadly and
embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly
thrive and why spreading your knowledge across multiple domains is
the key to your success, and how to achieve it. 'It's a joy to
spend hours in the company of a writer as gifted as David Epstein'
- Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet 'A goldmine of surprising
insights. Makes you smarter with every page' - James Clear,
bestselling author of Atomic Habits 'Urgent and important. . . an
essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares
about improving performance' - Daniel H. Pink
